My plan is to do it after dinner down by the Wilmington DE River Front one evening.

Idea 1
What I was thinking was during an after dinner stroll, we happen to wander upon a photographer thats all set up for a shoot but thats missing his/her "clients". And just for fun I offer that my girl and I pose for some test shots. Of course during which one of the shots is the proposel and the reactions/emotions afterwards.

Idea 2
Flash Mob:
If there was alot of interest, during & after the proposal, cameras and flashes out of nowhere paparazzi style.

#1 definitely. But I like what Gale is thinking. Add another twist. Instead of a stroll, a ride in a horse and carriage that happens to come upon the photographer?

Or After the photographer set, a horse and carriage either happens by, or you go to his pickup spot? or a stretched limo??

I'm partial to the horse and carriage because that is how I proposed at midnight on Michigan Avenue in Chicago... 13 years later, no matter what vacations we plan, an annual trip to Chicago is a must do item - and my wife declares Chicago to be the most romantic city she has ever visited.

With that in mind, prepare for the fact you 2 will probably want to return to your proposal site annually... so be sure and pick out a beautiful place, or do what I did - pick out a place you would like to travel to every year...

That is such a cool idea! When my wife and I got engaged I hadn't caught the photography bug yet, but what you're doing sounds like a great way to get some images of a really difficult to capture moment.
